nice. I actually quit using Mobile Shell 1.x when it got my TyTN II. The HTC home plugin plus the touchflo in the programs list I found that I really didn't gain anything from Mobile Shell. It just duplicated functionality already built into my device and ate ram and rom.

Maybe Mobile Shell 2.x will change that. :)
I can't wait. :mrgreen:

I don't see myself buying HTC devices anytime soon. Things like custom USB plug and absence of a standard headphone connection among other small, but important details, will keep me away from its products. But it would be very interesting to see what new version of Mobile Shell will have to offer. I use current version and I do like it a lot.

I did exactly the opposite. :mrgreen: With my previous device I decided to uninstall Mobile Shell because of limited memory.
When I got the TyTN II, first thing I installed was Shell - nice thing about the TyTN II is it has enough memory to run all of my applications without any issues.

Great program, can't wait to discover what v2.0 will bring.

Not all HTC devices use a custom USB plug. My Touch uses a standard mini-USB so I use the same cable on three or four devices. It does use the same mini-USB for headphones, however, and while it has an adapter to plug in a 3.5mm plug, it's a bit of a pain. I'll probably end up getting a set of stereo bluetooth earbuds so I don't have to worry about it.

Beauty is in hands of beholder. I am happy for you, that you are happy with your HTC Touch so much. :lol: Unfortunately, it doesn't have GPS, slow processor, no standard headphone plug as you said. And those "little" things are important to me. Why compromise? 0X
